Getting smell out of Microwave

i recently had a similar problem. my husbands friend put a travel mug with metal in our microwave and it had a horrible burnt rubber smell. we cleaned it out with simple green. i then combined baking soda with water and cooked it for one minute and left it in the microwave overnight. there was still a smell so i combined a fresh batch of baking soda with water and orange essential oil and nuked it for another 45 seconds. i didn't want to boil it. i let it cool and added a little more water and did the same routine again, again leaving it in the microwave overnight. slowly the smell did dissipate. good luck.

Always try to cook something pleasant or savory in your microwave to get rid of the bad smell! I often will cook some simple stew or boil tea or coffee in the microwave to get rid of unpleasant smells. I love the smell of coffee, and also make little coffee bags and put in the freezer!
